It’s just 10 short days until Mother’s Day! It can seem daunting to buy gifts for the woman who’s always giving to you. When in doubt, go with beauty products – unlike clothes (which can be hit or miss even with your closest friends), you won’t have to fret about getting the right size. I […]

Happy Earth Month! In honor, I wanted to highlight a great product by one of my favorite eco-friendly brands, AHAVA’s Dead Sea Plants Smoothing Body Exfoliator ($28). I hate sea water because my skin is so sensitive I almost always break out in a rash, the one exception – the dead sea in Israel. Not […]

I’m a big fan of I love My Muff’s wipes because they’re super quick and easy, but below the belt maintenance goes beyond simply refreshing as anyone with ingrowns will tell you, which is where Project Fig comes in. Designed to fight the irritation that often comes with intimate grooming, Project Fig is a natural, facial […]

People will often rummage through my beauty products and ask me which ones are worth splurging on. One of the brands singled out most often is La Prairie. Are their products worth the money? The answer is – if you can afford it – yes. Trust me I know $125 is a lot for a […]

[…]

Not to sounds like a PMS’ing you-know-what, but one of my pet peeves is when group fitness instructors go on and on about things that have nothing to do with the class they’re teaching – just tell me what to do especially when your class is only 45minutes! On a recent afternoon I found myself […]

Try as they may to revamp their offerings to make them appear more luxurious, CVS, Duane Reade, and other similar drugstores have nothing on Target. Hands down the best place to shop for affordable beauty products they stock one of my favorite brands (and I’m talking fave at any price point) – Yes to Carrots […]

Moroccanoil launched in the U.S. about three years ago and ever since argan hair oils have been all the rage. I discovered the brand’s oil a few seasons ago when they worked on the hair looks for J. Mendel. They were able to achieve a controlled frizzy look unlike any I had seen before and […]
